The pressure roller 2 for the main feed roller 3 is loosely mounted in arms 15 pivoted at 16 and held in adjusted position by screws 20; it is depressed by a saddle piece which is acted on by a screw 10 and bears against a groove in the roller. The recordstrip receiving-roll 66 is supported in slots by spring-controlled arms 67 which may be held out of roll - supporting position by a spring pawl 77. The supply rolls 90 are variably pressed against by spring-controlled levers 120, and are maintained in correct position by spring loops 86. The ends of the roll spindles are kept in place by gravity pawls. The spindles of the independent detail-strip rolls are supported in side plates 28, and are engaged by spring- depressed pivoted side pieces 32. A spring 43 exerts friction upon the corresponding supplyroll 25. The carbon strips are secured by means of right-angled clamping-plates 48, 51, Fig. 12, which engage in grooved cross-bars 46. One form of clutch for disconnecting the main stripfeeding devices from the rest of the machine is shown in Fig. 6. The pinion 165 driven by the main operating-handle (not shown) is loose upon the main feed-roller spindle 166. By operating a trigger 173, a sleeve 167, feathered on this spindle, can be slid into and out of engagement with clutch teeth on the pinion 165, so that the spindle may be turned either by the main handle or, when the clutch is disengaged, by a hand-wheel 175 on the end of the spindle. In Fig. 13 the trigger is in the form of a retaining- spring 173<a> which, in the position shown, is out of action so that the roller may be turned directly by hand. In order to hold the pinion 165 when the sleeve 167 is drawn back, a spring-controlled dog engages therewith and is moved out of engagement again on the return of the sleeve by means of the conical disk 170. The pivoted frame holding the record rolls is provided with pivoted hooked arms 111 slidable along fixed pins with which they finally engage in order to hold the frame up. The alarm bell is mounted eccentrically so that it may be thrown out of action. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also interlocking- mechanism between the drawer and the operating-shaft, which is similar in general construction to that shown in Specification 22,076/08, but includes a cam for throwing the locking lever out of action and a different form of drawer catch. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
